The colors for my wedding are green and pink (Green as the main color, pink and white as accents).  For some reason, I'm now wondering which color pink to use.  I think I've always thought of using a blush/light pink, but now I'm wondering if I should do this or more of a hot pink.http://www.projectwedding.com/wiki/show/a-pink-and-green-garden-wedding(lighter pink and green)ORhttp://www.blisstree.com/ouroneheart/wedding-theme-idea-pink-and-green-polka-dots/(hot pink and green)My wedding is in July, so should I use the hot pink since it is summer?  Also, I'm getting married in a gazebo at Polen Farm and our reception is in their barn (white on the outside, dark barn on the inside).  Which color do you think would go best with the venue?Thanks!!

    I really like the blush pink best, but the hot pink is gorgeous too, so I think you can't go wrong either way! GL!

    What color are your bm dresses? I'm assuming green, but what color green? My fm are wearing green dresses and I'm using pink and white flowers, but using the lighter pink. I like how the lighter pink looks next to white flowers though... I'm not one for a lot of "pop" of color. Ask your florist too... they should be able to help

    Personally, I would incorporate some of both shades of pink.  I think layering different shades of colors adds some dimension to the look of a wedding.

    The lighter pink gives a softer feel, while the hot pink gives a more bold/modern feel. Depends on what you're going for "feel-wise" Or just use both!

    the lighter shade seems a bit more vintage and the darker much more modern. Which look do you prefer?  My vote would be the lighter. I love all things vintage and romantic :)

    I vote for the lighter pink. I may be bias because my colors are brown, green, pink and ivory (think your first link but adding in brown). I do think it really depends on what feel you want for the wedding. Both pinks work for a summer wedding, but do you want a more romantic, soft vintage feel or are looking for a poppy, modern, crisp look? It would drive me crazy trying to incorporate both shades of pink, but if you wanted to, it certainly is a possibility! My last words of advice would be to decide on colors and then stay true to your decision. I've tried flip flopping my decision on colors and it only frustrated me. Now that I won't let myself change my mind again, I'm much happier! GL!

    I don't think you have to decide on one color.Incorporate hot pink AND light pink in different places. I'm a strict believer that everything doesn't have to be matchy/matchy.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!To answer some questions .... My BM dresses will be more of a sage/olive (deep) green color. I haven't picked them yet so I can't say the exact name. I think I want more of a romantic feel, so maybe the lighter pink will be best.I do like the idea of using both pinks. I've also toyed with the idea of adding chocolate brown to the mix ... I just think I might get carried away. :pEverytime I picture our wedding, I picture the green and light pink flowers ... perhaps that is my answer? Ugh, I hate being so indecisive (sp?).  Plus, neither one of us are really "bold" people.  I should probably just stick with light pink, huh? haha
